• Snap-action or slow-action contact for
accurate switching with safe operation
via a direct opening mechanism with
metal deposition between mating contacts.
• Two sets of contacts: one (NC) for safety category circuit and the other (NO)
for control circuit.
• Contacts opened by direct opening
mechanism (NC contacts only), thus
preventing faulty operation due to factors such as metal deposition.
• Wide standard operating temperature
range:
–40°C to 80°C (standard type).
• Safety of lever settings ensured using a
mechanism that engages a gear between the operating position indicator
plate and the lever.
• Equipped with a mechanism that indicates the applicable operating zone, as
well as push-button switching to control
left and right motion.
• Conforms to EN (TÜV) standards corresponding to the CE marking.

Note: 1. Mechanically speaking, these models are basic limit switches.
2. The D4B-#N is a Limit Switch conforming to European standards, and M20/PG13.5 is commonly used in Europe.
3. The wobble lever models are ordinary limit switches and are not approved under EN, GS, and SUVA’s Direct Opening Certificate.

Replacement Part
Because the D4B-#N employs a block mounting construction, the switch box, operating head, and lever (side rotary type only) may be ordered as
a complete assembly or individually as replacement parts. (Replacement parts are not available as a switch box and head assembly or as a head
and lever assembly.)
